International Mother Language Day
February 21
Today, the 21st February, is International Mother Language Day, and was founded in 2000.
It is observed every February to celebrate language and encourage the learning of multiple languages and the maintenance of mother languages, especially those that are endangered.
#Multilingual and multicultural societies exist through their languages which transmit and preserve traditional knowledge and cultures in a sustainable way.
